  • "He put his disease in me": A Tribute to David Lynch's Masterpiece, Blue Velvet
    2025/01/29

    Back in the day, Lynch helped usher Daniels from metal meathead to art fart--not that you can't be both. Jones didn't know much about Lynch before recording but was game to learn more. To put it another way, Daniels started the night with a can of PBR, and Jones had a nice cold Heineken. Now it's dark.

  • Minority Report: Spielberg Gives Dystopia a Try
    2025/01/08

    The script is flipped from last time. Kelly doesn't like to mix magic with his sci-fi; Steve just thinks it's an enjoyable movie. Without any love in his heart, Kelly turns to smut and DEI jokes. It ain't pretty.

    From Slate: Whose idea was it to turn Minority Report into a mushy declaration of humanism? It ends up as less of a warning about an Orwellian police state than a protest that Pre-Cogs are people, too. It's Dick-less. Ebert's 4/4 star review: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/minority-report-2002

  • Death in Morocco: Two Disturbing Stories by Paul Bowles
    2024/12/12

    Steve traipsed around Morocco last summer, breaking from his 5-Star comfort zone into (gasp) a room without air conditioning, among other horrors. This hardship prompted a dive into the warped fiction of the great Paul Bowles--buddy of William S. Burroughs, acclaimed author and composer, famous ex-pat, lover of men back when that kind of thing could get you in trouble, and generally an interesting cat. The stories under consideration: "A Distant Episode" and "The Delicate Prey." Good thing the MUW boys never get tongue-tied, and let's hope it stays that way.

    2024/11/28

    The Paris Review is one of the most iconic literary magazines in America. They've also got a podcast.

On this episode, Dude One and Dude Two discuss a couple of edgy PR stories: "A Dark and Winding Road" by Ottessa Moshfegh, and Sam Lipsyte's "The Worm in Philly" (read by Marc Maron).
